Summary

Floods at Laura, 24-25 January 1941. The Pine River at Laura burst its banks and six people have been reported drowned. Sand bags saved the hospital, shops, hotels and many houses from devastation. The Becker farm near Laura straddled the Pine Creek about four kilometres north of Laura. "The Willows" stands on a bend on the creek and in the 1941 floods raging flood waters swept round and through the homestead.
